Heart and Heart

Issue no. 2: matters of the heartAriana Mygatt and Trilby Yates

Eyes close take a deep breath deep breath through the nose slow inhale never letting go never letting go filling the lungs filling the emptiness in hallowed walls muted color soaked sanitized lack of smell lack of who I am color soaked sanitized

Form A form B circle one cross out one two all the others the others that don’t apply what does apply when the chest rises and doesn’t fall what applies when you are shuffled in different directions more questions more questions more questions answers come to slow answers drift into the abyss or they never come at all they hang in mid air eyes close and I ask the cosmos I ask the goddess will I ever see you again will I ever feel you again

I drift away deep out of body drift and dreams A nonsensical arbitrary paper trail the imperial order of a healthcare hierarchy that moves in white lab coats and clipboards that holds an oath to do no harm to do no harm... I drift in and out now and then lights flash I drift I drift away deep out of body drift and dreams

My hand on your chest your hand on mine heart beats my love my love I hold your gentle heart in memories deep I count each beat I drift out of body drift and dreams you reach inside my chest my heart in your hands you count each beat you whisper as I drift you whisper my name you hold my heart it’s not my time you let go I drift dream twist you let go another time love another time
